Celtic have been dominant over Rangers for much of the last 25 years on the domestic scene.
Celtic’s trophy history shows treble after treble, major league title wins and memorable cup final victories over the last two decades that have given the Parkhead support memories of joy.
The last trophy Celtic won was the League Cup final against Rangers where Brendan Rodgers won the club’s 119th trophy to officially crown the Hoops Scotland’s most successful club.
Looking at the state of Rangers’ season so far, BBC pundit Michael Stewart believes that there is something Celtic have had over the years that Rangers have been seriously lacking.

“And that’s the one thing that Celtic have in abundance. It’s the intensity, the tempo and Rangers, in that game [Queen’s Park defeat], everybody’s seeing it, recognise they lacked tempo.
